Nana's Cabin at Vallecito Lake | Near Lake, Trails & Outdoor Fun, Dogs OK
Tucked into the trees in the beautiful Vallecito Lake Valley, Nana’s Cabin offers the perfect balance of privacy, comfort, and classic rustic cabin charm. Ideal for families or small groups looking to enjoy everything the Durango and Bayfield area has to offer. Bring your dog, too!
Surrounded by towering pines and fresh mountain air, this charming cabin is just a short drive from the lake, hiking trails, and all the year-round outdoor adventures that make Vallecito so special. Inside, you'll find a warm and inviting space designed for quality time.
For larger gatherings, Nana’s Cabin can be rented together with the neighboring Vallecito Family Retreat to comfortably accommodate extended family or friends, giving your group extra space while still staying close.
Whether you're here for a summer lake escape or a colorful fall getaway, Nana’s Cabin offers a peaceful home base to create lasting memories in the Colorado mountains.
–Where You’ll Sleep–
•Upper Bedroom #1 - King bed
•Upper Bedroom #2 - King bed, Toddler Bed
•Main Level Bedroom #3- Queen bed
•Main Level Bedroom #4 - Full bed
•Upper Common Area Bedroom #5 - 2 Full beds, 1 King Bed, Toddler Bed
NOTE: The common area is located in the middle of the 2 upper-level bedrooms, so you do walk thru it to get access to those bedrooms. But it is private in that it does not have an overlook to anything on the main level.
–Amenities You’ll Love–
•Outdoors, the front deck is large enough for the whole group to enjoy the woods that surround the home. Also in front of the home, is a large, grassy lawn with picnic table. There is room to park multiple cars plus space to park the trailer for boats, ATVs, motorcycles and snowmobiles.
–Dogs Allowed–
This home is pet friendly! We allow a maximum of 2 dogs max and the pet fee is $40/day (for a max $250 per stay). Pets must be crated if they are left home alone.
–Location–
•This mountain home is in the heart of the Vallecito Lake Resort community located near the north end of the lake, which is a very convenient location to all lake area activities including boating, fishing, water skiing, hiking, horseback riding, road cycling, mountain biking, motorcycle riding (dirt and street), hunting in the fall, snowmobiling and more. There is also the ‘locals favorite’ cross country skiing trail along the Eastern edge of the lake, which is groomed all winter for both classic skiing and skate skiing. Appx 30 miles to downtown Durango and 55 miles to Purgatory Ski Resort.
–Things To Note–
•Consistent with most Colorado mountain areas, the home does not offer air-conditioning.
